Recording motorcycle vlogging audio can be a challenge. There are of course internal mics in all GoPros and most other action cameras. But, for riders looking for a better audio option, adding an external mic is a must.
One common route is to leverage the mic and sound processing capabilities of a two way radio. The nice thing about this approach is that it let's you record not only the sounds of the bike and the trail (ambient audio) but also the conversations held over the radio.
With Sena's line of Bluetooth radios, conversations are mostly seamless and audio quality is quite good. The radio channel is digital, and full duplex so there's no need to push any button in order to talk.
However, it can be quite frustrating getting your Sena conversation fully recorded into the GoPro because of some of the default firmware settings just don't make this possible. In this video we show you how to get your Sena properly connected to your GoPro and how to change the firmware settings to enable full recording of BOTH sides of your conversation.
We also go through some of the caveats to running this type of setup and explain the audio quality results you can expect from a couple of different equipment options. In particular, we discuss how to get the most out of GoPro's mic adaptor and/or media mod.
We also discuss how to mount up the extra components you will need by leveraging our line of unique GoPro mounts which are designed to perfectly match each of the helmets in our lineup.
